    Thanks for sharing @Catherine21 it's awful how many people are on the streets and insecure housing in this day and age. It's a really complex issue with a lot of different factors but I really hope to see some change within my lifetime.

    Rosie everytime I let pixie in garden when really cold i always think of people laying on concrete god it crushes me i emailed andy burnham regarding that interview one of the saddest things I seen was a lady sleeping in a shop window and she had a pair of slippers by her side the last reminder of her life when she had a home i tried to wake her up my daughter said mum shes sleeping i left money by her obviously she didn't ask i sobbed where my mum lives in Devon Axminster hundreds of homeless people say on thier addicts err no thats making excuses no to see the suffering and in lockdown I thought thats good at least people wont be on the streets
